Get Into Rugby coordinator passed away last night

Rugby Europe is really sad to bring the bad news that our dear friend and colleague from Rugby Africa, Eric Situma passed away on Sunday the 22nd during the night in a hospital in Nairobi.

We are deeply moved and saddened by this news. Eric was a lovely, gentle person and was hugely respected by many. Recently he visited us in Europe to attend the Get Into Rugby Europe and Global Conference in Lisbon, Portugal where he was very committed and passionate to develop and grow the game in Africa and all over the world.
